Constance “Connie” Boucher, 90, of Front Royal, Virginia, formerly of Fairfax, Virginia, passed on to eternal life on Friday, October 18, 2019 at her home.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Thursday, October 24, 2019 at 11 AM at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Front Royal with Father Phillip Cozzi officiating. Burial will follow in Prospect Hill Cemetery.
Mrs. Boucher was born on June 29, 1929 in Concord, New Hampshire to the late George and Mary Reardon Long. She was also preceded in death by her cherished husband, Pierre C. Boucher; daughter-in-law, Goyena Boucher; two sisters, Mary Nadeau and Anne Murphy and two brothers, George and Jim Long.
She was a dedicated member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church. She participated actively in the Legion of Mary, was a Eucharistic Minister, loved taking Communion to the nursing home, and volunteered with the Front Royal Crisis Pregnancy Center.
In her earlier years, she worked as a nurse at Fairfax Hospital, and bred, raised, and sold golden retrievers. All her life, she was an active member of the Catholic Church, to which she was devoted. Her favorite expression was “faith, family, and friends.”

Connie was a great lady who I remember as a wonderful mother and dedicated nurse during the years I knew her in Fairfax, Virginia. My sincerest condolences to her surviving family members. Rest in peace Mrs. Boucher.
When I was a child growing up, Mr. and Mrs. Boucher were my next door neighbors. They were wonderful people, and I have so many cherished memories of the entire family. My prayers, love, and condolences to the Boucher family.
Please accept my love and condolences in the passing of Aunt Connie. I have such fond memories of visiting her and uncle Pierre throughout the years. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.
Love, Amy Boucher

I am so sorry that I can not attend in person.
I was happy to get to know Michael´s grandma as a kind-hearted person on Pierre´s wedding: I will always remember how she linked arms with me on the way to the charcoal oyster restaurant and the good conversation we had over a glass of wine.
Michael spent a lot of time with his grandparents at Smith Mountain lake. His grandma definitely plays a part in Michael being such a great person. I am really thankful.
God bless you!
Rest in peace
Connie and our late mother, Frances “Ann” Leeds, worked together at Fairfax Hospital. They became close friends and shared their strong faith in God often attending mass together. Our mom became “godmother” to Connie’s granddaughter. Pierre and Connie were a wonderful couple and we always enjoyed visiting them and having them to visit us. We can still hear their laughter and feel their love in our hearts. We’ll miss you but our hope in seeing you again is in God’s hands. Love always, Jane Leeds, Suzanne (Leeds) Johnson
